I have bunch of textbooks, and a lot of lecture notes and notes from colleagues, all in PDF format. What is a good way to classify, manage, store, and read these PDF files? I am trying calibre-web, but it seems difficult to find applications to connect to it.

Not quite the correct application but linkwarden would work. Stores all your links but also backs everything up via html, plain text, and pdf. You can categorize content and tag content. Then there are filter and search tools.

You can just give it PDFs and it will import them over as well. Only saves them as a pdf but still would work.

I'm guessing this is not the best approach but wanted to give you options.
